I guess the true question is. By looking into buying high-end skates, am I really making an investment into a better hockey experience/gameplay, or is marketing just getting to me and I'm just looking for an excuse to spend?  |
Conditioning is part of the equation, but a lighter skate means you *can* play a higher level off the start, and have more in reserve in the later stages of the game.
Imagine if you can improve your conditioning that much, the skates can give you the slight little edge.
Of course we are no where near that level, so for us to spend that much money on high end gear, yes we are falling for the marketing.
